Matayo 24
1 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ava mu luggya lwa Yeekaalu, abayigirizwa be ne bajja w’ali okumulaga enzimba ya Yeekaalu,
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 naye n’abagamba nti, “Bino byonna temubiraba? Ddala ddala mbagamba nti tewaliba jjinja na limu eririsigala nga litudde ku linnaalyo eritalibetentebwa.”
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni, abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamubuuza mu kyama nti, “Ebyo biribaawo ddi? Era kabonero ki akalitegeeza okujja kwo n’enkomerero y’ensi nti eri kumpi?” (aiōn g165)
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temukkirizanga muntu yenna kubalimbalimba.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 Kubanga bangi balijja mu linnya lyange nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze Kristo’, era balirimba bangi.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 Munaatera okuwulira entalo n’eŋŋambo z’entalo. Temwekanganga, kubanga ebyo biteekwa okubaawo, naye enkomerero eriba tennatuuka.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 Amawanga galirwana ne gannaago, n’obwakabaka bulirwana n’obwakabaka, era walibaawo enjala mu bifo bingi ne musisi aliyuuguumya ebifo bingi.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 Naye bino byonna biriba ntandikwa butandikwa ng’ey’okulumwa okuzaala.”
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Muliweebwayo ne mubonyaabonyezebwa era ne muttibwa, era mulikyayibwa amawanga gonna olw’erinnya lyange.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 Era bangi balisendebwasendebwa okukola ebibi, n’abalala baliryamu bannaabwe olukwe, n’abalala ne bakyawagana.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 Era bannabbi ab’obulimba bangi balijja ne bawubisa abantu bangi.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 Olw’obujeemu okuyinga obungi, era bangi okwagala kwabwe kuliwola.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 Naye abo abaligumiikiriza okutuuka ku nkomerero be balirokolebwa.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 Era Enjiri ey’obwakabaka eribuulirwa mu nsi yonna, nga bwe bujulirwa eri amawanga gonna n’oluvannyuma enkomerero n’eryoka etuuka.”
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 “Noolwekyo bwe muliraba ‘eky’omuzizo eky’entiisa,’ nnabbi Danyeri kye yayogerako, nga kiyimiridde mu kifo ekitukuvu asoma bino ategeere,
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: )
16 n’abo abalibeera mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga mu nsozi.
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Alibeera waggulu ku kasolya, takkanga kuyingira mu nnyumba ye kubaako byaggyamu.
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 N’oyo alibeera mu nnimiro taddangayo eka okunonayo olugoye lwe.
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 Naye ziribasanga abakyala abaliba balina embuto, n’abaliba bayonsa mu nnaku ezo.
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 Naye musabe ekiseera ky’okudduka kireme kutuukira mu biro bya butiti oba ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 Kubanga wagenda kubeerawo okubonyaabonyezebwa okunene ennyo okutabangawo kasookedde ensi ebaawo era tewaliddayo kubaawo kikifaanana.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 Singa ennaku ezo tezakendezebwako, tewandibadde n’omu alokolebwa. Naye olw’abalonde be ennaku ezo zirikendezebwako.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Bwe wabangawo omuntu agamba nti, ‘Kristo ali wano, oba ali wali,’ temubakkirizanga.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
24 Kubanga bakristo ab’obulimba balijja, ne bannabbi ab’obulimba nabo balijja ne bakola eby’amagero n’ebyewuunyo; nga singa kibadde kisoboka, bandilimbyelimbye n’abalonde ba Katonda.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Laba mbalabudde nga bukyali!”
Behold, I have told you before.
26 “Noolwekyo omuntu bw’abagambanga nti Kristo akomyewo ali eri mu ddungu, temugendangayo. Oba nti ali mu bisenge eby’omunda, temukkirizanga.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
27 Kubanga nga bwe mulaba okumyansa kw’eraddu nga kutabaala ebire okuva ebuvanjuba ne kusala okulaga ebugwanjuba, n’okujja kw’Omwana w’Omuntu bwe kutyo.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Era mukimanyi nti awabeera ekifudde awo ensega we zikuŋŋaanira.”
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 “Amangu ddala ng’okubonyaabonyezebwa “kw’omu nnaku ezo kuwedde, ‘enjuba eriggyako ekizikiza era n’omwezi teguliyaka, n’emmunyeenye zirigwa n’amaanyi g’eggulu galinyeenyezebwa.’”
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 “Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo akabonero k’Omwana w’omuntu kalirabika ku ggulu, era walibaawo okukungubaga kw’amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi, era baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja ku bire by’eggulu, mu maanyi ne mu kitiibwa ekinene.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 Era alituma bamalayika be nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, ne bakuŋŋaanya abalonde be nga babaggya mu mpewo ennya okuva ku ludda olumu olw’eggulu okutuuka ku ludda olulala.”
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 “Kale muyigire ku lugero lw’omutiini. Amatabi gaagwo bwe gatandika okutojjera nga mumanya nti ebiseera eby’ebbugumu binaatera okutuuka.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
33 Noolwekyo nammwe bwe muliraba ebintu ebyo byonna, nga mumanya nti ekiseera kiri kumpi, era kisemberedde ddala ku luggi.
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
34 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, omulembe guno teguliggwaawo okutuusa ng’ebintu ebyo byonna bituukiridde.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo naye ebigambo byange tebiriggwaawo.”
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 “Naye eby’olunaku olwo wadde essaawa tewali n’omu abimanyi, newaakubadde bamalayika ab’omu ggulu nabo tebakimanyi, wadde Omwana, okuggyako Kitaffe yekka.
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Kubanga nga bwe kyali mu biseera bya Nuuwa, okujja kw’Omwana w’Omuntu nakwo bwe kuliba.
But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 Nga bwe kyali mu biseera by’amataba, abantu nga balya nga banywa, nga bawasa n’abalala nga bafumbirwa, olunaku ne lutuuka Nuuwa n’ayingira mu lyato,
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 abantu ne batamanya, amataba ne gajja ne gabasaanyaawo ne buli kintu, bwe kutyo n’okudda kw’Omwana w’Omuntu bwe kulibeera.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Mu biseera ebyo abasajja babiri baliba bakola mu nnimiro, omu n’atwalibwa omulala n’alekebwa.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Abakazi babiri baliba basa ku mmengo zaabwe mu nnyumba y’emu, omu n’atwalibwa omulala n’alekebwa.”
Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 “Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu, kubanga olunaku Mukama wammwe lw’aliddirako temulumanyi.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 Naye mutegeere kino: ssinga ssemaka amanya essaawa omubbi w’anaayingirira okumenya ennyumba ye, yandisigadde ng’atunula, n’ataganya mubbi kumuyingirira.
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Noolwekyo nammwe bwe mutyo mweteeketeeke, kubanga Omwana w’omuntu alijjira mu kiseera kye mutamulowoolezaamu.”
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 “Kale aliwa omuddu omugezi era omwesigwa mukama we gwe yawa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabirira abaddu ab’omu maka ge, n’okubawa emmere mu kiseera ekituufu?
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Alina omukisa omuddu oyo, mukama we gw’alisanga ng’akola bw’atyo.
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, alimukwasa ebintu bye byonna.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 Naye obanga omuddu omubi bw’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Mukama wange tajja kudda mangu,’
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 n’adda ku baddu banne, n’abakuba, n’alya, n’anywa n’abatamiivu, okutuusa lw’alidda.
And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 Mukama w’omuddu oyo n’akomawo ku lunaku lw’atamusuubidde ne mu kiseera ky’atamanyi,
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 alimubonereza, era omugabo gwe guliba okubeera awamu n’abannanfuusi, eriba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.”
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The World is Destroyed by Water
